Saturday night update: Kids visit

Kristen (my wife and Bonnie's attending physician) was working this weekend at UCSF, so I am relatively up-to-date.

Both kids visited today, as well as Bonnie's Mom and Dad. Devon and Isabel were there for about 45 minutes and like any almost four and almost two year-old, sat on the bed and played with the controls. Bed up, bed down. Bed flat, bed bent. (This occupies about thirty minutes.) Bonnie, Isabel and Devon shared a blueberry muffin while the bed went up-down, back and forth. (On Thursday the routine was the same, except the three shared a popsicle.)

Bonnie gets tired easily, so the 45 minutes with the kids is just the right length visit. Kristen took a little time off from 11-Long to go to the patient reunion party for everyone who has had a succesful bone marrow transplant at UCSF. Very hopeful, uplifting event, which included a seventy-four year-old woman who underwent a successful transplant a few years ago. If she can do it, Bonnie certainly can!
